I can only give a rough outline of my system specs...here they are

2.4 GHZ Intel Celeron CPU
512mb DDR RAM (2x 256 sticks)
40GB HDD
64mb on board intel EXTREME 2 (HAH ya right...) graphics chip set

if you wanna know full specs look up the HP pavilion a200n (and add 256mb of ram...thats what i have)

Alright now onto the issues!

1) I have HORRID lag (or hiccups per-say) I have turned down everything, hell even switched it to D3D (which im guessing is direct 3D?) and I cant fix the horrible horrible lag, It's bad enough to stop me from playing.

2) I seem to have been crashing alot, usually happens when I click the register button on an event or when I quit the game.

PS: I can easily get the logs for some of this but i cant remember were they are exactly located :mad:

EDIT: back in the testing days before I even had more ram, the game ran alot smoother for me.

EDIT 2: When set in D3D mode the screen tends to blink ALOT...

What else did you change since the testing days? Is the graphics card the same?

everything is exactly the same, only thing that is different is the added 256 stick of ram.

EDIT: when using the IB browser version, when i quit the game, it sometimes messes up my desktop, i'm guessing my video card goes all screwy when this happens because it looks like it is trying to display two screens, one half way on the other.

One of the differences is that may car models now have 512x512 pixels textures. They were mostly 256x256 during beta days.
